Shame, Oilpaint on Linnen Canvas. (2023)
120 x 45 cm.
She is been portraited with clothes dated from the 17th century.
In recent years, the realization has arisen that the 17th century was not a 'Golden Age' for everyone. In fact, we should be posthumously ashamed of all the suffering inflicted on thousands of people by slavery, purely because of the colour of their skin. In this work, I am concerned with the contrast between the wealth acquired at the time and the shame that should exist about it.
